Important PARENT MEETING
On November 20, 2013, Elizabeth Seton High School has been selected to host the Legislative Open House at 7:00pm.  Members of the Maryland General Assembly will be here to see what Seton has been doing with the funding we have received for the Textbook and Technology Program.  
Students will be speaking to members of the legislative assembly about the academic advancement of our school.  We will also be asking our representatives to support proposed tax credits for businesses who invest in nonpublic education.  If this tax credit were to pass, it would mean many more dollars for our students and for our academic program.  Legislative representatives will only be able to see how much this funding means to our school if our parents are there in great numbers.  Please give a night of your time to support funding for Seton.  For more information, please click here to see the enclosed flier.

Our website will now feature a new tab under ABOUT US. This is the president's blog.  Please take time to read this and share it with your friends, family, and co-workers.

Elizabeth Seton High School is pleased to be presenting PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, a Christmas musical featuring our students, our alumnae, and members of the ensemble, Broadway at Harewood.  Please click here to read the flier and please click here to purchase tickets.  It is going to be a great show!

Hello, parents and supporters of the 2014 graduates of Elizabeth Seton High School!
 
As explained at the meeting for senior parents on Sept. 26, you may send good wishes to your graduate with an "ad" in this year's yearbook. You have two options for doing so: online through our publisher or through our yearbook staff.
 
If you would like our yearbook staff to create your ad, your deadline is approaching! You must have your materials (photographs and copy for the ad, as well as a check for your payment) to us no later than Monday, Nov. 11. Please click here for more details about this option.
 
If you would like to create an ad yourself, you may do so online until Monday, Dec. 2. Please click here for instructions from the company about how to do so. Please note that Seton's yearbook will include only 1/4 and 1/2 page ads.
 
Please also note that we are setting aside only 30 pages for senior ads. That space will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Please act soon!

If you have any questions, please contact the yearbook adviser, Dr. Anne Carroll, at acarroll@setonhs.org.  Thank you!

If your daughter needs extra pledge forms, they are available from each of the music teachers and on the Music Boosters webpage.  Remember that donations may be made online:  from Seton's website, go to the Fine Arts tab and click Dance Marathon.  If you have any questions about who has already made a pledge online for your daughter, contact Melinda Chen at Melinda.chen@gmail.com.
